Dealer claimed an hour and a half for install, that made it cheaper to buy the Kuryakyn flush mount set up. The Kury version is easier to read day or night and as a bonus you get a volt meter built into it.
if your "dealer" ever installed one before, he would know that there is a plug on the bottom of the LED fuel gauge (not the one on the harness under the fuel tank!), all they would need to do to replace the gauge is pop out the defective one (yes, it just pops out like the fuel cap!), unplug the defective gauge, plug in the new gauge and pop it back in..
should only take about 2 Minutes MAX!
but who am I to know more about that than a "dealer".......
